Logitech’s M515 Mouse is Built for the Couch

Home Theater PC owners are always on the hunt for the perfect keyboard and mouse to use on the couch in front of the television. Some people opt for keyboard/mouse combo gadgets, or keyboards with trackpads on them, and other people opt for small, laptop-style keyboards with media mice. The newly announced Logitech Wireless Mouse M515 is designed for use on any surface, even textured ones like fabric and plastic.

The M515 features a hand-detection sensor on the top so the mouse is only active when there’s a hand on top of it, and saves battery life any other time. Logitech says that the mouse can live up to 2 years on one set of batteries, and uses their tiny Unifying Receiver to connect over 2.4GHz wireless.

The top and bottom of the M515 is built with as few seams as possible and is closed up so it won’t collect dust and fuzz. It’ll be available in Europe first, arriving in April and retailing for approximately $79.99 USD.
